Oh my – I’m hoping this isn’t a late April 1st on me, but I’ve been nominated for a Versatile Blogger Award!! I have to say that it is completely unexpected as I’ve only been blogging since January this year!
I have to say that I feel quite honoured to have been nominated for this. So the first thing I have to do is thank Ed Mooney Photography for his kind nomination.
So being me, I checked out the Versatile Blogger Award Blog to see what the story was and found the rules.
‘If you are nominated, you’ve been awarded the Versatile Blogger award.
- Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.
- Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it.
- Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly. ( I would add, pick blogs or bloggers that are excellent!)
- Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award
- Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.
So here we go!
The blogs that I would like to nominate are the following;
Little Viking Horse.
Opusanglicanum
A. J. Sefton.
My Shetland.
Jo’s Journal.
Fuzzbee Yarns.
Got Ireland.
Asnoc.
Kate Shrewsday.
Senchus.
Vibrant Ireland.
Adventures In History Land.
Ed Mooney Photography.
Ash N. Finn.
Feminist Crusades.
And finally, seven things about me……
- I’m not really a full time viking and I do live in a house,
- I love the Oseberg Ship finds; they make my re-enactment life much easier.
- My dad bought me a Shetland pony when I was four. We called him Hector
and he was a little devil!! - I love visiting old ruins with my camera in tow,
- I read pretty much anything, but particularlyfantasy and historical fiction,
- I have two dogs,
- I love watching quiz shows.
Thanks Aine, much appreciated, I was initially drawn to your blog as I used to be involved in re-enactment myself with Dail Quinn or as I believe they call themselves now Na Fianna Finn. Best of luck with the award, 🙂
Ahh that explains part of it! Well if you ever feel the need to come back and wave a sword around there is an excellent group based in/around Dublin called Fingal Living History. They have big plans for next year and the 1000 year anniversary of the Battle of Clontarf as well!
Thank you again for the mention 🙂
You know I might just take you up on that offer, its been a while, and I miss the steel something terrible, Thanks, 🙂
Thank you. I am not sure I can comply with the rest of the rules but I would like to thank you. I don’t read many blogs really.
Thanks so much,and congratulations on your award! I’m looking forward to checking out your other nominatons…
Thanks so much Aine and congrats on your award!
Thanks Anne!
Congratulations, Aine, and thank you very much for thinking of me! I know some of your other nominees already, and they are great writers and photographers.
